I suspect that the OP is having us all on. Power, prestige and money via employment at a Chinese university? Unless the degree is a fake, and the teaching experience wild fantasy, attempting to drag this average dream into reality might be better done in Korea, Japan, North America, or Europe.
"Uni job within my grasp"
There are 21 year olds with four week TESL certificates working at universities in China. It's within anyone's grasp. |
It is true about the 4 week tefl and 21 year olds.... thing is... I've never heard of the uni's they work at  |

From what I've seen and what my friends have told me. CHinese unis pay around 3500-5000 but you only teach about 16 hours a week. So you can get another job on the side to help you out.
It's one thing for the other, pay or time. RIght now with teaching 40 hours, I'd rather have time. |
Sorry to burst your bubble but most if not all University contracts will state that you are not allowed to work for someone else whilst employed by them.
If you want to, it is called moonlighting and it is something you should keep quiet about if you plan to do ;0 |

Nature Girl, anyone who wants to "moonlight" at a Chinese university, from faculty head down, does. In fact, its expected: its just you don't advertise it.
This will only backfire if the university offers you contracted outside work, you refuse, THEN they find out you're moonlighting.
I did a few jobs for my school to keep them happy, then took on a very well paid side job that had nothing to do with them. |

IELTS examiner. Money? Check!
Power? Check!
Prestige? Check!
And you can work 16 hours a week at a uni during the week - examining is mainly at weekends. Or you could just spend the time hanging around on uni campuses picking up girls.
PM me for details. |

Man, you sound pretty cool. I bet even the girls who don't usually shave all get together the day before you cruise their campus to share a blade on the off chance they might have the honour of being macked on by the one and only johnchina! |

C'mon Shan-shan! I suggested that the OP could do that. I don't - too much work and, as you sarcastically (yet correctly) implied, I aint such a hot property.
At least I managed to come up with a constructive suggestion. |

For univ. jobs, check out
www.chinatefl.com
I had a very good living/working experiences at Sichuan U's ILTC.
As well as at BJ's U. of International Relations and elsewhere.
U. jobs offer stability and an alternative to the vagaries of the "China market" of the English mills. At a U., you can develop an English Corner in your own apt., for invited folks and their friends.
As was mentioned ABOVE, having an interest in Chinese culture gives one's experiences an added dimension. From the perspective of social science...China offers a wealth of learning/un-learning experiences...especially regarding the relevance of Rupert Sheldrake's
hypothesis of Morphic Resonance.

| I recommend Chinatefl as a basis for you to contact the employer DIRECTLY. Don't go through them as I have heard the commissions they charge for their services, etc ..... |
